LONDON — Conferences can be a little niche, but most don't aim to stultify.

I for one find the weekly puzzle plenty big enough to satisfy, and, without a good theme, to stultify.

Traditional roles may oppress and stultify women, but the free-and-easy hedonism Mary and Claire find with Percy and Lord Byron (a scene-stealing Tom Sturridge) is no great bargain either.

To Kaufman, we are carved out and beaten down by a consumer society; how he might apply his wits to a developing nation, say, whose citizens strive to ease, rather than stultify, their lives with goods and services, I cannot imagine.

Throw in a four-season reality TV show in the form of Hogan Knows Best – quintessential mid-noughties programming which managed to stultify its viewership, obliquely document familial dysfunction and reveal Hogan to be a painfully overbearing family patriarch – and the fact that we had admired him as kids seemed even more bizarre and inappropriate.

Estmanco (Kilner House) Ltd v Greater London Council [1982] 1 WLR 2 is a UK company law and UK insolvency law case concerning derivative claims. It held that majority voting power cannot be used to stultify the purposes for which the company was formed, although the result has to be read in light of the new directors' duties and derivative claim codified in the Companies Act 2006 sections 172 and 260-26.

One of the PIs interviewed Clarke twice. In each interview, Clarke insisted that he wrote the article, and would so swear if summoned to court. In the second interview, the investigator asked Clarke to sign a statement telling in detail how the article was prepared, and further asked to see Clarke's files. Clarke replied that he would not "stultify" himself by signing any "statement or affidavit;" and that he would show the records to no one unless compelled by a subpoena.

Shinto wants life to live, not to die. Shinto sees death as pollution and regards life as the realm where the divine spirit seeks to purify itself by rightful self- development. Shinto wants individual human life to be prolonged forever on earth as a victory of the divine spirit in preserving its objective personality in its highest forms. The presence of evil in the world, as conceived by Shinto, does not stultify the divine nature by imposing on divinity responsibility for being able to relieve human suffering while refusing to do so.

Cooke dismissed Taylor's appeal, "A main purpose of requiring such returns would normally be to ensure that the marketing system was working properly and, if not, to take the necessary action. It would stultify the purpose if a recipient of a requirement could refuse to comply because there was a real risk that a transgression would come to light. In my opinion, reg 57(3) so far as here relevant was within the authority conferred by Parliament and the defendant was rightly held to have committed offences by failing to answer the inquiries."Taylor v New Zealand Poultry Board [1984] 1 NZLR 394 at 405-406.

Priessnitz's English biographer, Richard Metcalfe, notes that despite the fame of the Graefenberg setting, Priessnitz believed that the water-cure treatment was what provided his patients relief, not the locale. > :That Priessnitz was of this opinion appears from the fact that after his > fame had spread throughout Europe, and people came to Graefenberg from all > quarters, he did not confine his practice of hydropathy to that healthy > region, but visited and treated patients at their own homes in towns, where > similar success attended his manipulations. :There are some who would > stultify Priessnitz by making his saying, "Man muss Gebirge haben" (One must > have mountains), to mean that he considered a mountainous region > indispensable to the successful practice of hydropathy. But, as the facts > stated above show, the whole career of Priessnitz gives the lie to such a > notion.

The Commander-in-Chief, Sir William Mansfield, instead had Jervis dismissed and his name 'struck off the returns' of the 106th. The case was widely reported and the process, and Mansfield himself, were subject to criticism over the way the matter was handled. Mansfield, it was said: > ...has hunted his victim, to ruin with a ruthless and persevering energy > which could not have been exceeded if it had been directed against the > enemies of his country ... It is impossible to believe that a man who could > so stultify himself and disgrace his high office and his English blood can > be allowed to retain the all but most responsible post in India. In September, 1867, Prince George, Duke of Cambridge, Commander-in-Chief of the Forces (military head of the British Army), sent a dispatch to Mansfield in which he severely rebuked him, but also censured 'in the strongest terms, the reprehensible insubordination' of Jervis.

The Catholic teaching, already outlined against the Pelagians by various councils and popes from the fifth century, is fully presented against the Reformers by the Council of Trent, especially Session V, Decree on Original Sin, and Session VI, Decree on Justification. In those two sessions, both anterior to Baius' writings, we find three statements which are obviously irreconcilable with Baius' three main positions described above: (1) Man's original justice is represented as a supernatural gift; (2) Original Sin is described not as a deep deterioration of our nature, but as the forfeiture of purely gratuitous privileges; (3) Justification is depicted as an interior renovation of the soul by inherent grace. The condemnation by Pius V of the 79 Baianist tenets is an act of the supreme magisterium of the Church, an ex cathedra pronouncement. To say, with the Baianists, that the papal act condemns not the real and concrete tenets of the Louvain professor, but only certain hypothetical or imaginary propositions; to claim that the censure is aimed not at the underlying teaching, but only at the vehemence or harshness of the outward expressions, is to practically stultify the pontifical document.
